States, residing at Logan, in the county of' Cache, State of Utah, have invented certain new .and useful Improvements in Hay- Rakes; and we do hereby. declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains'to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in harvesting machines. l

One object of the invention is to pro-f vide an eilicient and durable machine of this character by means of which hay in the field can be windrowed, as well as cocked.

vOther objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description'when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. p

In the drawings: Figure 1 isa plan view of the machine in operative position. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, one of the ground wheels being removed. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the gathering rakes in elevated position.l Fig. 4 is a rear eleva- 'ition of the machine showing the gathering rake's in elevated position. Fig. 5 is a vertical section on the line 55 of Fig. 1. Fig.

6 is a vertical section on the line 6 6 of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a detail view of the lifting lever for the gathering rakes, and Fig. 8 is a detail perspective view of the means for connecting the gatheringrakes to the cocking rake.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, 10 represents an angle lbar to which are secured the tines 11 of the main rake of the device. In the ends of the bar 10 are the stub axles 12, 12 which carry the ground engaging supporting wheels 13. Secured o n the bar 10 are the brackets 14, each of these brackets carrying' a pair of upstanding parallel perforated lugs 15. Disposed in front of the bar 10 is a frame 16, the side members 17 of which extend rearwardly over the bar 10, as indicated at 18, and are pivotally mounted on bolts 19 carried by the brackets 14. Connected to this frame 16 is a draft tongue or pole 20, a doubletree 21 being pivoted thereto and carrying the swingletrees 22.

Near each end of the bar 10 and secured on the top thereof, are the brackets 23, each piles.

vof thesebrackets carrying the pair of upstanding parallel lugs 24. These lugs carry the bolts or pivot pins 2 5 on which are piv- `otally mounted the links 26.' The outer ends of these 'lmks have the apertured heads 27 which receive rotatably therein the rounld bar 2,8, thls bar extending approximately the entire length uof the bar 10, and inA advance of the same aldistanceequal to the length of 'each of the links 26. On each'end of the bar 28 is. a forwardly extending arm 29, the forward end of each of 'said arms being rigidly connected to a forwardly extending and downwardly and, outwardly inclined anglel bar 30. Carried by this bar 30 arethe rake teeth or tines`31, these tines being so positioned and lined as to extend in the same Vdirectio n as theztines 11 of the main rake. yExtendingforwardly from, the end o f each of the arms 29 is va ngGI 32, this finger supporting the middle portion of a truss 'rod 33, the ends .of which'are secured to the ends of the barBQ.; ASecured to the outer endof each of lthe, bars 30 isa casting 34,

this casting carrying a caster wheel 35 forsupporting the outer end of the bar 30. The inner end of each of the bars 3 O has secured thereto a 'plate 36, this plate being provided withan apertured head 37 disposed on thel bar 28,` and secured thereto.

Pivotally mounted on one of the longi tudinally extending members 38 .of the frame 16 is a lever 39, this lever having a link 40 pivotally connected thereto at one of its ends and at its opposite end to an arm 41 rigidly securedto the bar 10 of the rear rake. By means of this lever 39, the rear rake can be raised and lowered to dump the hay as it is raked and to form rows or Securedr to the other longitudinal member 38 of the frame 16 is a rack segment 42, and straddling this segment and rigidly secured tothe bar 28 is an operating lever 43. This lever is formed of a single strip of metal doubled on itself as`- -at 44 and having its ends formed with the apertured heads 45 disposed on the bar 28 and secured thereto. Between the portions` rakes 30 are sprea at such an anglerthatf raiseand,lowerP the arms 29y for; lifting loweringftlie forwardly extending ralie-ba'is 30. It will be noted that the teetho the forwardly extending "rakes are `graduated.

o .0f thel frame. 16 is a seat 43:9.`

In the operation of the device,.the parts being in the position shown in'Fig. 1, the machine is drawn b means of horses. The

'they' cover approximately three swaths of the `hay out by'the mower, Aand by reason.

of'the'angle of eidgensiony of these rakes', the hay from the two side sw'aths is drawn inwardly and deposited on the middle swath. The rear rake gathers up the three swaths, and by means of the lever 39,'. this rear rake can be raised to dump the hay into the proper sized piles as the driver sees fit. By raising the rear rake, the side rakes will draw in the hay into windrows.

From the foregoing, it will readily be seen that whenall of the rakes are in use, the hay 'can be cocked, and when the rear rake isthrownV out of operation, the hay can be raked into windrows, ,thus producing a combined hay cocker and windrower. The peculiar arrangement ofthe pivotal conneotions between the frame 16 and the rear moana? rigid'lycarried by the gathering rakes and' --pivotally carried by vthe links, means for dependently of vthe gathering rakes, and means for raising' and lower-inl@r vthe gatherin" relies .independently of ille dumping ra e.

wheel supported dumping rake, a frame pivotally connectedl to the rake and provided with draft means, a bar pivotally mounted on' the main rake'and extending the length of the said rake, forwardly extending arms onthe ends. of the bar, forwardly extending and downwardly and outwardly inclined gathering rakes, said' forwardly extending arms being rigidly connected to the gathering Vrakes, means for raising and lowering the dumping rake, and meansfor rocking the said bar to raise and lower the gathering .rakes tures, in the preseneeof two witnesses.
